[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I still use my 30 year old Rollei SL-35 and assortment of Zeiss (not Rollei) lenses once in a while. I also use a Rollei 3.5F TLR. I have used Leica only for a bit more that a year after wanting one for 25 years. I use the R4 with a few lenses and love it. The meter is much more sensitive than my old Rollei's. The lenses are on par with the Zeiss except that I now have a 100 macro bellows lens that beats the setup I use to use with my Rollei (135 f4 Tessar on a bellows) I use to think it was great, but not compared with the 100 Elmar. Almost had a 60 Macro, but that's a long story. I still feel guilty enough that I take my SL-35 out once in a while and shoot it. We have a history of thousands of rolls of film. Still feels good.
